Western Standard - Trudeau found the crown of Canada, and dragged it through the gutter

00:00:00.000 Let's talk about the legacy of Justin Trudeau.

00:00:04.700 Napoleon Bonaparte is believed to have said,

00:00:06.620 I found the crown of France in the gutter.

00:00:09.520 I picked it up with the tip of my sword and cleaned it,

00:00:12.360 and the people of France placed it atop my head.

00:00:15.700 In the end, old Boney lost, but boy, did he sure give it the old college try.

00:00:21.820 Justin Trudeau, by contrast, found his country's crown gleaming

00:00:25.500 with a strong economy, a balanced budget, growing national pride,

00:00:30.300 and regional secessionist movements either dead or dying.

00:00:34.080 He leaves office with an anemic, uncompetitive economy

00:00:37.820 that has been steadily eclipsed by the Americans,

00:00:41.200 and by some measures, even traditionally poor Italy.

00:00:45.180 He ran a deficit during the entirety of his prime ministership,

00:00:49.780 doubling the national debt in just nine years.

00:00:53.060 He took the modest recovery in Canadian national identity that he inherited

00:00:57.320 and told people that they were bigoted, genocidal settlers on stolen land.

00:01:03.140 He found an Alberta happy to pay more than its fair share to the rest of Canada

00:01:07.880 in exchange for a modicum of respect,

00:01:11.020 and left it seething with sovereigntist and even secessionist rage.

00:01:15.040 He inherited a strong, stable, and sovereign country,

00:01:18.800 and he left it without any legitimate leadership for months

00:01:22.420 to help his party in the polls as U.S. President Donald Trump openly preys on its independence.

00:01:28.100 It is the legacy of a fool, of a narcissist, and an internationalist 0.97

00:01:34.280 without any sense that a country is anything more than a mere patch of land

00:01:38.520 with transactional fiscal transfers.

00:01:41.500 Both Trudeau the prime minister and Trudeau the man are contemptible,

00:01:45.760 as are his enablers and his successors.

00:01:49.280 His successor as liberal leader and prime minister, Mark Carney,

00:01:52.700 has been intimately involved in the Trudeau regime for most of its tenure in one form or another.

00:01:58.620 Notably, he has not spoken a single word of condemnation

00:02:02.460 against Trudeau's parsimonious decision to hang on to power

00:02:05.700 until Canada was left defenseless against Trump's trade war and annexation designs.

00:02:11.520 Prime Minister Carney will retool some of the most hated Trudeau policies

00:02:15.220 into convoluted alternatives

00:02:17.140 and try to sell it to voters in an expected imminent election.

00:02:20.620 Carney and Trudeau may be different men, but they are the same prime minister.

00:02:26.200 The succession of one from the other represents the continuation of the other from the one.

00:02:32.500 Carney's cabinet is Trudeau's cabinet.

00:02:34.900 97% of it, in fact.

00:02:37.860 This is not a party and a government that is admitted to or learned from its mistakes.

00:02:43.020 It is a cartel of anti-national statists intent on continuing their project

00:02:47.820 to remould Canada in the image of a Davos PowerPoint presentation.

00:02:53.400 Trudeau and Carney now call Canadians to the ramparts to defend the true north

00:02:58.300 at the literal exact moment that they are announcing

00:03:00.860 they're stealing yet more firearms from law-buying Canadians.

00:03:04.520 I'm sure those gun owners will be very eager to defend their government 0.99

00:03:07.880 against those who would give them Second Amendment rights.

00:03:10.480 The same party that tells Canadians that they have no core identity

00:03:14.480 and that Canada is a post-national state

00:03:16.640 now try to politically profit from latent Canadian nationalism.

00:03:21.480 The same people that lowered the Canadian flag for months

00:03:24.620 and literally bowed before Black Lives Matter racialists 0.78

00:03:28.500 call upon us to stand tall and fly the flag that they were so recently repentant of.

00:03:34.100 The same party that declared Canada to be a genocidal settler state on stolen land

00:03:39.540 now tries to claim the moral high ground as the rightful claimant to this territory.

00:03:45.280 If Canada is truly an illegitimate state on stolen land

00:03:48.400 then what right do we have to tell the Americans that they can't claim it for themselves?

00:03:53.540 The people who encouraged or sat silently by

00:03:56.380 as statues of Sir John A. Macdonald and Queen Victoria were toppled

00:04:00.000 now claim the moral right to tell us that our history is worth defending.

00:04:05.120 The people who replaced tanks with tampons in the men's washrooms on our military bases

00:04:10.440 warn the Americans that we will beat them in battle if they were to ever invade. 0.77

00:04:16.440 Ooh, I'm sure General Lismo Trump is shaking in his boots.

00:04:21.940 Justin Trudeau has left Canada weak

00:04:23.760 and utterly unprepared for the struggle it now faces.

00:04:27.020 And his chosen successor is just the man to keep it that way.

00:04:30.820 Jesus Christ volvereth with him in battle hiatus.
